The company, which has a Cypriot address but a British phone number listed on its website, claims to be able to offer tickets priced at €1,799 (£1,400/$2,027) for the Euro 2016 final at the Stade de France in Paris on July 10.

The website was founded by 2006 and is owned by Akirma Venture Limited, billed as one of Cyprus' leading tourism consultancies, 

UEFA has revealed that a French court has  granted it an order against guaranteetickets.com forcing them to stop selling tickets to the matches and using UEFA’s trademarks.

Akirma Venture Limited, the company behind the site, will be fined €1,000 (£778/$1126) for each day it fails to comply, a statement claimed.

"The site, which has advertised heavily on Google, has no right to sell UEFA Euro 2016 tickets and tickets that are bought through unofficial channels may not gain the buyer entry to the matches," said UEFA in a statement.

"Major sports events in recent years have seen a spate of sites selling tickets which they then do not deliver."

UEFA claims to have already taken down numerous unauthorised websites illegitimately offering to buy or sell tickets for UEFA Euro 2016.

"With England, Wales and Northern Ireland all qualified through to UEFA Euro 2016, UEFA are expecting unprecedented numbers of British fans to travel to France this summer," they said.

"UEFA are concerned that with high levels of demand fraudsters will target fans anxious to follow their teams."

They have launched their own re-sale portal, accessible here, which allows fans to sell and buy tickets at face value. 

“This summer will see a fantastic festival of football but fans intending to travel should only do so if they have bought tickets from official channels," said UEFA solicitor Nick Bitel.

Euro 2016 is scheduled to be held in France from June 10 until July 10.
